Answer:

x = 30°

Explanation:

The tangent and secant from a point outside the circle combined with the radius form a triangle.

The sum of the 3 angles in the triangle = 180°

The angle at the centre of the circle = 60° ( equilateral triangle )

The angle between the tangent and the radius on the circle = 90°, thus

x = 180° - (90 + 60)° = 180° - 150° = 30°
